Cult Cross 2008
I participated in my first race as a Crossniac at the first ever Spring Cult Cross Race series in Eagle Colorado. Larry Grossman put on a great race. It got good coverage from CX Magazine and the Vail Daily News. He made it difficult and fun. Race day was sunny and cold. The course had a mixture of mud, a little wooden bridge, pavement and snow up to a foot deep. There were sections like the abominable snow run. Basically a 50 yard run through foot deep snow. Usually the races on the front range are dry and fast, so this was a real treat and challenge. We had 8 in the 35 cat 4. I stayed with the pack until I crashed in the snow and fell towards the back of the field. I basically held onto my position and finished 7th. It felt good to be there and the people were great. I’m going back this weekend for a little more punishment at the final race of the series and then it will be time to break out the mountain bike.

nice work dude. I’m totally jealous. I was thinking of doing a spring series here, but didn’t get much interest
